“tomorrow” asked an expert: Do technologies like the world’s largest carbon suction system or a huge carbon capture and storage plant truly work and how efficient are they for capturing carbon dioxide and getting the climate crisis under control?

At a time in which climate change constitutes one of the most pressing challenges the reduction of their carbon footprints is turning into an increasingly important task for companies worldwide. But how do you measure such a footprint?

Some consider the linear city ‘The Line’ to be a visionary millennial project, others an example of absurdity. Here’s a current-state assessment in the spring of 2023 of how a city is supposed to grow 170 kilometers (106 miles) into the desert.

Wouldn’t it be great if the summer heat could be recovered for heating in winter? Scientists worldwide are researching this. tomorrow presents two novel means of storage: sand and acid.

While airships keep appearing on the visionary horizon from time to time none of them has so far managed the leap into the real world of mobility. The H₂ Clipper is a new attempt.

A Lithuanian organic food producer has now unveiled the world’s first hybrid tractor powered by biomethane and electricity for professional use: the Auga M1.

Starting in 2025, Schaeffler will be buying 100,000 metric tons (110,000 short tons) of “green” steel per year from a Swedish startup. The steel will be produced with hydrogen.

An e-car can only become truly carbon-neutral if it’s produced sustainably and operates with clean electricity.

A modern world without steel is hardly conceivable – but steel without CO₂ emissions is. These are the technologies to achieve change.

A classic is turning into the spearhead of urban mobility transformation: the bicycle.

This high-speed boat is said to achieve a speed of 150 km/h (93 mph)or 80 knots. That would be a new world record.

With renewable raw materials and new ideas, the construction industry is planning to level out its deep carbon footprint.

Flying, but greener – that’s what the future of aviation has to look like.

With the final race in Berlin, the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team has said good-bye to Formula E.

Some countries produce more sustainable energy than they need. New technologies help distribute surplus power efficiently.

Almost a fourth of the energy consumed is lost to friction. It’s time to change that – with new surface technologies.

Farming feeds the world – and requires increasingly better and, above all, more efficient machines to do so.

Neither chain, nor shaft, nor belt - Schaeffler presented the "Bike-by-Wire" system Free Drive as an innovative solution for bicycles at Eurobike 2021 in Friedrichshafen.

Only when the human, nature and technology triad is in perfect harmony will sailors stand a chance of finishing the Vendée Globe. Mental agility is a key skill in the world’s toughest non-stop regatta

15,000 square meters of footprint, 15 high-tech laboratories: Herzogenaurach will soon be home to “Schaeffler’s Central Laboratory”. “tomorrow” talked to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Tim Hosenfeldt.

Digital transformation is changing the world of construction and helps save time, costs and natural resources. Much of this is still a vision, but is an all-new world of construction in store for us?

Europe has the most close-meshed railroad network in the world. It will take an innovation boost for rail operators to seriously compete in transcontinental passenger transportation.

Be it in cars, trains or airplanes, in systems ranging from hybrid to fully electric, mobility of the future requires electric motors. But how does an electric motor actually work?

Whereas all previous plans revolved around storing the climate gas CO2 in underground layers of rock or just getting rid of it, it’s now supposed to be converted into a valuable raw material.

Inconspicuous plants with natural superpowers might soon help us stop famines, the destructive overexploitation of raw materials or climate change. Here are five examples.

Infinite energy, clean and for free – is that really just a pipe dream? Three ideas between science fiction and hard physics.
